Expect there to be very few players online as soon as Armed Assault 2 is released. =D

Bohemia has stayed true to their series, Ubisoft did not.

HI THERE ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly i would like to thank you julian so much for making this post !!! .....
Now i know that you all DON'T hate ubisoft because their games sucks ... or bad graphics or other nooby stuff ... you all HATE ubisoft games because their games are rather unfinished!!! ... i agree with you all on that ... BUT STILL come on guys, ubisoft games ROCKS (besides the unfinished games ... ) they really have the best of the best games !!!

I hope that you all guys also agree with julian, we really need to bring RSV2 alive !!!
The game really rocks, and i mean reeeeeeeeally rocks ... but i have to hand it to you ... that some of the bugs are really frustrating ... but maybe after all ubisoft will come with a new patch for everything ...

I hope that i can see you all online ( i really hope so )

And add me on xfire : agentcobra23

CYA !!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but if you have to struggle to keep a 1 year old game alive, then it is not a good game. At all.

viper you have made some peoples point in your without knowing it. why should we have to overlook the games many flaws and make believe it is awesome. dont get me wrong it is a fun game, but it could be soooo much more if it was finished and supported properly. i do hope it is completed some day, but that day is probably not close by or possibly ever.

Totally totally agree unclepaul69, this is a good game that COULD be freakin awesome! I'm convinced that Vegas1/2 are only prototypes for Rainbow Six 2010, which the 2010 movie may be out before the holidays and the Ghost Recon development team did announce going back to the basic gamestyle with new graphics(with help from the Left4Dead creators) like from the original 2001-2002 era, so maybe the Montreal Group will do the same for Rainbow.

I will be going to my nuclear proof underground cave if that ever happens. Do you want a game that still stays true to the original even after 10 years? Take a look at ArmA.

Online Terr Hunt/Coop/Story/Versus/TDM rocks in this game! Just had to say it, again. Hell, I love the game.
Now that the release dates for H.A.W.K. & TC End War have been extended until:
HAWK - 01-06-09
TC End War 02-02-09
...the players who enjoy V2, can use the next few months to roll online, fill the SERVERS and possibly {Fan Map Pack 2} will be released.

**Help Keep Vegas 2 Alive**...lol

To all New Players - this game rocks, take your time and work as a team, have some fun, this game is awesome.

JulianRoyal you have the most enthusiasm I have ever seen in the forums. I would like to salute you for your effort. As far as I can see Vegas may be a little sick but not dieing. Even with it's problems it is a fun way to kill some time.Someday maybe UBI will finish another game and support it. Until then keep killing Terros. Good luck and good gaming to all.

I also have to salute Julian for his enthusiasm!
I was like that at first, but then I was also hosting T-Hunt as Julian is.

When you start joining other players games in T-Hunt, you will soon learn what real lag is!!

I also find it pretty sad when someone has to come to a forum to beg gamers to play this game!

For a quick comparison, I just started up COD WaW.
This is on a week day, early afternoon:

3075 Servers running!
717 players just on one page of 22 servers!
(Servers can host up to 50 players and still play great)

Of course there are several servers with no players, but I doubt you will find 717 players on all of Ubisoft's PC games combined, and I didn't count total players! (Only 22 busy servers)

This surely has to say a little about the diffence in quality of games and game companies!!

Yeah I've played in cod waw with 52 players and ran so smooth.... NO LAG.

Than run a dedicated server for rainbowsix vegas 2 and it lags with only 16 players. Have to reduce it to 14 and at 14 still lags. Server running on fios.

The worse part is waiting for the room to fill. It takes forever... Dont know if it really is ubisoft fault or demonware netcodes to blame? since demonware also does cod waw. Kinda odd,huh?

Remember that a person in China could be on fiber and lag when playing with a person in Maryland who is also on fiber.

A lot of latency issues in Vegas 2 is because a lot of Europeans play on US servers that are populated during US prime hours and vice versa.

Don't mistake of confusing network traffic or poor routing between two points as bad game network code or a laggy server - This is not the case.

A lot of people also mistake FPS loss for network latency as well.



When I play on any of our US based squadgames I get no lag.

However I will see players from Europe with 200+ pings lag around occasionally then talk about the server lag.



Some FPS Games are less picky and you can play with 150ms ping or even a little higher without it being a big deal.

Rainbow Six games have never been like that even going back to the days of Raven Shield.

Whether it's the tactical nature/pace of the game or just the fact that UBI modifies all their Unreal engine products I am not sure.

However if everyone is playing on a server in the US with 100ms ping or less there will be no "Dedicated Server" lag.

At least not in the verses mode.



Today we are re-launching our Vegas 2 servers on a brand new dedicated dual woodcrest Xeon server in Dallas, TX.

ping the following ip address: 70.84.181.170.

The result will be your ping roughly to the server.

If you are 150ms or greater chances are you will see lag but at no fault to the server or the game.

It will more then likely be because of the physical distance between you and the server which typically equates into more routes and higher network congestion, higher pings.

More to the topic at hand.

The best solution to keep this game alive is to find experienced programmers who have the knowledge and are willing to make hotfixes and patches to the game.

Obviously they are somewhat limited due to the fact UBI has not released a .SDK.

However as you can see with the custom camo crash fix, the Hardcore mode fix, and soon the SADS crash fix that modifications can be done with the .SDK.

i agree if they would release one the community could do what it needs and wants, play the game as it should be played and with less problems. look at fallout 3 when the geck came out the mods and patches made a good game great. just my opinion though.

Support this game online!
East Coast server HTU_Daxt runs great!
Rock On!
